ITunes appends incrementing number to file name

Hi,
I noticed that with some of my mp3 files iTunes 6 keeps on creating copies of them, appends an incrementing number to the file name and adds the new file to my iTunes library, which means I end up with multiple copies of the same song in my library.
So if I have got a file called "03 All I Need.mp3" iTunes will create
03 All I Need 1.mp3
03 All I Need 2.mp3
03 All I Need 3.mp3
etc...
Perhaps it could be related to the fact that I have got two computers accessing the same mp3 folder via a network?
I really can't explain to myself why iTunes would be doing this, but it is terribly annoying, as I end up with the same song over and over again in my iTunes library.
Does anybody know how I can prevent iTunes from doing that?
Thanks heaps!

Hi,
Please take a look to the attached VI. I hope that I understood what you really want.
I've replaced the Vi: Format into string with Number to Decimal String plus a Concatenate String. 
Now, this is working for me, I don't get a space anymore.  If something is wrong, please let me know.

Paul

  • How to add increment number to file name properly

    Hi, all:
    I have a simple question. As shown in the attached code, I need to add an increment number to file name and save the file. The problem is, if you run the code and put something like ".dat" in the extension name, you will see a blank space between the number and the dot in the file name. What should I do to eliminate the blank space? I can't specify the format of the file name since the file name would vary from case to case.
    Thanks a lot for any suggestion and correction in advance.

  • Sequence Number in File Name

    Hi All,
    I have a requirment where the Output file name should be appeneded with a sequence number which needs to be in sync with the number of records processed.
    Each time this sequence has to be started from the previous number where it ended.
    The soultion at the moment we have used it to store each time this counter in a file and read is back and update when done. Other solution is to meke use of the Tabe on ECC side
    Is there any solution with in the map it self to maintain this number.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks
    -Kulwant

    Hi Kulwant,
    Within Mapping you cannot save the counter as container and even global variables are flushed once the mapping is executed for the message, so i think we cannot do it using mapping.
    Also, dont know if you have tried OS commands feature provided by SAP for file adapter explained in link below:
    [/people/santhosh.kumarv/blog/2008/07/27/glimpse-at-os-command-yet-another-scenario]
    We can first create the file on some temporary location of the application server and then execute a batch file which would contain the code to fetch previous count(variables in OS commands can hold this value) and increment the same and copy the flie thus created by communication channel by appending the count to file name and also delete the file created by communication channel.
    Hope this helps !

  • How to not append '.PART' to the file name of the currently downloading file, and just download the file with its normal filename

    In Windows, when Firefox (I'm currently using 7.0) downloads a file, it appends ''.PART'' to the file name of the currently downloading file and just renames it to its original file name after it finishes downloading.
    I sometimes like to watch a currently downloading video file, so it will be better if Firefox just downloads the file to its actual filename (like what Opera does), so I can easily double click the incompletely downloaded file and watch it with the video player assigned to that file extension, rather than the awkward ''Right click -> Open With -> Choose Default Program'' route with .part files.
    Does anyone know how to set Firefox to do this?

    It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox and prevents Firefox from renaming the .part file.
    Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
    See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"

  • Getting PO number as file name when getting output as pdf file

    Hi Experts,
    Is there any possibility to get PO number into file name (instead of spool number) when getting output as pdf file.
    Since I'm printing POs in batches (as pdf) it is too difficult to find exact PO among all the pdf files.
    If PO number maintained as file name, would be great time saver for me.
    Thanks

  • How to Make Itunes Recognize Foreign Characters in file names?

    How to Make Itunes Recognize Foreign Characters in file names?
    Any Body, please
    DELL Windows XP Pro

    That's not how it's supposed to work according to this: http://www.griffintechnology.com/support/italkpro/
    By default, a playlist will be created in iTunes called "Voice Memos" and those files will be transferred there automatically. The files themselves can be found on your computer in your iTunes Music folder in Unknown Artist > Unknown Album.
    It may be worth working through any trouble shooting articles on that site.

  • Idoc number  as file name

    Hi
    I am working on idoc - file scenario. I need to get the idoc number as file name in the receiver side? How could it be done ?

    Hi,
    You need to use Dynamic Configuration to set the file name dynamically in your mapping. In your receiver Communication Channel, on the Advanced tab, mark the Use Adapter-Specific Message Attributes and File Name checkboxes. Please refer to this help if you need further information about it:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/44/6830e67f2a6d12e10000000a1553f6/content.htm
    Then create a user-defined function in your graphical message mapping, with the following code:
    DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
    DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
    String SourceFileName = a;
    return  SourceFileName;
    The "a" here is the importing parameter of the user-defined function. Map IDoc number to this function to have the parameter set.
    Hope this solves your problem,

  • Limit on the number of file names retrieved using FM 'RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL'

    Hi All,
    I am using FM 'RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL' , to retrieve file names from a specified directory.
    When executed, i am getting 10,000 records(file names) only against lakhs of files present in the directory.
    I would like to know if there is any limitation on the number of file names retrieved using that FM and how to over come it.
    Also please let me know if the FM 'EPS2_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING' also has any such limitations.
    Thanks in advance,
    Sreeni Vallem

    I did not know about this limitation of number of files returned. You can give a try to the external command way of doing it in your development system.  Well, creating 10001 files in development is a boring job . You can write a sample program as Rob has mentioned in this thread and copy files to a specific directory ABAP: Copy files from one R3 directory to another. This doesn't disturb the existing program written.
    Mean while let's wait for expert's reply.

  • Append Date & Time to File name

    i have a folder name  LOG .  the  folder contains  a number of files. i want to append  the current date and time to each
    filename
    LOG
    PCone.csv
    PCTwo.csv
    PCThree.csv
    i want to add date time to each file in the folder 
    output should be 
    PCONE 2014-12-16 12:01:44.csv
    PCTwo.csv 2014-12-16 12:01:44.csv
    PCThree.csv 2014-12-16 12:01:44.csv

    I know this is probably to late for you but in case others have the same question use the following method:
    First example is for Universal Time (London)
    Get-Service | Export-Csv c:\temp\Services-$(((get-date).ToUniversalTime()).ToString("yyyyMMddThhmmssZ")).csv
    This example is for local time formatted the way I would want it:
    "c:\temp\Services-$((get-date).ToString('yyyy-MM-dd hh-mm-ss tt')).csv"
    Windows does not allow for a colon ":" to be used in a file name so you will need to choose a different separator. Frankly I'm fine with a hyphen "-" but that might just be me.
    The following artical will give you all the formatting options.

  • Append date to exporting file name in SQL reporting service

    When exporting a report to another format, say excel,PDF; the file name is always set to the report name. Our client has a requirement where whenever a user exports a report to pdf, the timestamp of when the data of the report was made should be appended in the filename. Is there a way to do this in Reporting Services as well as report builder?
    example : Report name : Testreport
    Exported file should be : Testreport-November-22-20076.pdf

    Hi,
    I know it's been while since this question was posted. I am replying so that it'll be useful for other people when they come across this same situation.
    If you have access to SQL Server Agent to create jobs then this idea will be helpful -
    1. Connect to your Report Server from SSMS.
    2. Note the ItemID for your report by executing this query
    select *
    from ReportServer..Catalog
    where Path like '%NameofyourReport%'
    3. Create a job in here with the name say "AppendDatetoxyzreport" and add a step in it with the code
    UPDATE [Catalog]
    SET [Path] = '/PathofyourrerportfromReportServer/ReportName_' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(8), GETDATE(), 112),
    [Name] = '/ReportName_' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(8), GETDATE(), 112)
    WHERE ItemID ='<ItemID>'
    4. Create another job with a name like "RemoveDatexyzreport" and add a step in it with the code
    UPDATE [Catalog]
    SET [Path] = 'PathofyoureportinReportserver/ReportName',
    [Name] = 'ReportName''
    WHERE ItemID = '<ItemID>'
    5. Now set your AppendDatetoxyzreport job schedule to execute first, then the Report's subscription and then the RemoveDatexyzreport.
    By doing this the first job changes the name to include present date, then you get you report and the next job sets it back to its previous name.

  • Have file name with date working but appending the time to file name can't get a result

    DECLARE @dt AS VARCHAR(26)
    SELECT @dt = REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR(26),getDate(),110),'-','-'
    Have this appended to a filename like: log_01-15-2015.  Don't know what to add to SQL code to get the get the time and append time in hours, min, sec. like:  log_01-15-2015_10:01:33  
    DECLARE @dt AS VARCHAR(50)
    SELECT @dt = REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR,CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,110),'-','-') +'_'+ CONVERT(VARCHAR,CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,108)

    SET @bcpCommand = 'bcp "SELECT * FROM ##Temp ORDER BY barcode" queryout "C:\TEMP\Log\ContainerHistory_Log_' + @dt +'" -c -T'
    EXEC master..xp_cmdshell @bcpCommand
    I am trying to append to the file created with the date a time stamp but when appending the time part for the filename results aren't creating the file.  If it's just doing the date part then it is working. Any idea what is wrong? 

    Since you added ":" to the file name, the file name is not valid. You can change ":" to "-".
    DECLARE @dt AS VARCHAR(50)
    SELECT @dt = CONVERT(VARCHAR,CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,110) +'_'+ REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR,CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,108), ':', '-')
    SELECT @dt

  • Can't install Itunes - not a valid short file name

    I tried to upgrade, but it failed and locked up, so I tried to uninstall Itunes and reinstall again.
    now when I download, or try to reinstall the new program I first get a message that says:
    "Itunes resources is not a valid file name" and then when I hit OK, it gives me "fatal error during installation."
    It will not allow me to uninstall the itunes that it won't let me install.
    It's a vicious loop and I must have my itunes back!!

    This suggests the iTunes installer is getting damaged during download.
    First try downloading the iTunes installer using a different browser.
    You should be downloading from here:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If that doesn't work,the simplest thing is to get a friend tio download the installer for you and put it on a USB memory stick. Preferably a copy that you know works.
    Are you using a USB Dongle connected to a wireless broadband provider – truncated downloads seem to be common with this setup.

  • Incremental Numbering for File Names

    I've been trying to wrap my head around this problem all day. So I've found two very helpful scripts on this forum: here and here. The second one works, but I'd like to be able to direct where the files are saving to and I'd like to save them as .tifs. It seems like the first script is exactly the one I want, but when I run it I get the following error (I have CS 5):
    I'm trying to use this as a learning exercise, but man, it's a steep curve.
